Text for the Day -- Revelation 22:1-5
----------
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as
crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the
middle of the street of the city. On either side of the river is the
tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each
month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
Nothing accursed will be found there any more. But the throne of God
and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him;
they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And
there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for
the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign for ever and
ever.
Devotional
----------
Trees play a prominent role in the Scriptures. Even at the end when
the gathering of the heavenly kingdom around the throne of God is
described, the tree of life (God's presence bringing protective
shade) is present. The leaves of this tree has healing for the
nations and abundant fruit will provide nourishment. God's call is to
come and live under the tree of God's kingdom, now and forever.
Prayer
---------------
Keep hope alive in me for the life that is to come, O Lord. Amen
